Peeta's POV

I can't sleep knowing that Katniss is going to have our child and I won't be here for it. I knew it was too good to be true. Whenever I have a dream, it is always ripped out of my hands. No Peeta, you can't think like this. You have your beautiful Katniss and she is having your child. What if I won't ever be able to see my child? No! I cannot think like this!

I look over to Katniss. She looks so peaceful when she sleeps. God, I am going to miss her so much. Her eyebrows scrunch up together and her smile turns into a frown. She starts whimpering and rolling around

"Katniss, wake up sweetie, it's not real." Her eyes flutter open and look at me.

"Peeta!" She says, sobbing into my shirt.

"Do you want to talk about it?" I ask and she slowly nods.

"A person came knocking on our door, and he told me..." She lays her head down on my shoulder. I can tell this is really hard for her. I rub her back trying to comfort her. "He told me that you had..." She swallows. "You had died in a mission." She starts to sob in my shoulder. I hate that I bring this much pain to the woman I love. "Then a little girl that was... well our child came up to me and asked me where's daddy." My heart shattered into pieces. I wish she wasn't so upset. "She had your hair and your eyes. She was like a mini you." She says slightly smiling. I smile back slightly forgetting our situation

"I would never let that happen. Yes, I will be gone for a while, but you are not going to get rid of me. I will make sure I am here for you and this child." I say looking into her stormy grey eyes. She leans over and kisses me on the lips.

"I love you so much Peeta" She says with so much passion it makes me fall in love with her all over again. She cuddles into me and I slowly fall asleep.

Katniss's POV

I wake up and rush to the bathroom. I hear Peeta's footsteps behind me. I throw up and Peeta holds back my hair and rubs my back. God I don't know how I am going to get through this without him. "Are you okay Katniss?" Peeta asks.

"Never been better" I say sarcastically.

"Do you need anything?" He asks.

"No, but thank you." I say looking into his worried eyes.

"I was thinking, we need to go to the doctor to get more details" Peeta says staring back. I sigh loudly. He knows I hate going to the doctor even though my mother was a doctor.

"Do we have to?" I ask like a little kid.

"Yes we do, I know you don't like going, but you need to." He states.

"fine." I say giving up. He lightly kisses me on the lips.

"Okay honey, I am going to go call the doctor." I nod and walk to the bedroom. I lay on the bed and sigh. When our lives are finally coming together, it starts to crumble before our eyes. I hear footsteps and Peeta walks into the bedroom.

"Honey? We need to go to the doctors we have an appointment soon." He says lightly laying his hand on my shoulder.

"Fine" I say dramatically rolling off the bed. Peeta laughs.

"Oh, come on lets go." He says holding my hand and we walk to the car.

******************************************************************************************************************

We walk into the doctors office and I shiver. I have always hated doctors offices because they really creep me out. I have no idea why, you would think it wouldn't creep me out with my mother as a doctor. For my sister, it is like a second home. She is working on her degree so she can be a doctor. She is a natural at it and I am well, a natural disaster. We walk up to the front desk.

"We have an appointment for Katniss Mellark." Peeta says to the woman at the desk. The lady bats her eyes at Peeta like I am not even there. I roll my eyes.

"And your name is?" She says touching his arm. He tightens up and looks at me. I give him a look that says 'I'll handle this'

"His name is Peeta Mellark, you know, my husband." I say showing my ring. She rolls her eyes and turns around and shimmies away. Peeta laughs.

"Jealous much?" He says smiling.

"No, just making sure she knows who she is dealing with." I say smiling back

"hmm sure." He says and I hit his shoulder lightly.

"Miss Mellark?" I hear a nurse say and I turn around. "The doctor is ready to see you now." I take a deep breath and start walking to the room.

The doctor does some tests on me to make sure I am actually pregnant because sometimes the tests can be incorrect. I am pregnant which I am very happy about, but I just wish Peeta could be here for all of it. I also learn that I am 1 and a half months pregnant. We thank the doctor and leave.

"That wasn't that bad was it?" Peeta asks. Which it wasn't, but I don't want to admit it to him.

"Meh." I say and he laughs lightly. "Peeta?" I ask.

"Yes honey?" he replies.

"Can we get some food? I'm starving." I beg.

"Of course." He says and we head to a really good burger place close to our house. I walk in and I hear this group of guys whistle and I scowl. Peeta puts his arm around my waist protectively. One of the guys walks up closer to me and you can smell that they have been drinking way too much.

"Well hello sexy!" The guy slurs and Peeta makes a growling noise. "You should drop this loser and we can have some fun." I scowl even deeper and I was about to punch him in the face, but Peeta beats me to the punch. Literally. Peeta punches the guy hard in the face.

"I would leave my wife alone if I were you" He says and turned to me. "I think we should go."

"Who's jealous now?" I ask smiling. He rolls his eyes

"Lets just go." He says smiling back. My stomach growls and he laughs "I will make you something at home, don't worry." He says and we get in the car.

He starts up the car and we head home. I start to get tired and my eyes get heavy. Before my eyes close I see a car zoom by.

"Peeta!" I shout. The car runs right into us. The last thing I remember is glass shattering and I black out.

I am back! I am not dead! I am so sorry I have not updated in forever. I have been really busy but it's Summer so you will get more updates soon! This is my longest chapter yet! It is... (checks words) Over 1000 yay! That may not be much for some writers, but this was hard for me, so I am proud of my self. Hope you are having a wonderful summer and if you are not out of school, may the odds be ever in your favor.
